Evertec’s Strong Growth and Strategic Acquisitions Drive Buy Rating Amid Economic Challenges

William Blair analyst Christopher Kennedy has reiterated their bullish stance on EVTC stock, giving a Buy rating today.

Christopher Kennedy has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Evertec’s strong financial performance and growth prospects. The company reported impressive results for the March quarter, surpassing revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and EPS estimates. This outperformance was driven by significant growth in the Latin American market, particularly in Brazil, where Evertec’s acquisition of Sinqia is showing promising results.
Despite macroeconomic uncertainties and potential challenges in Puerto Rico, Evertec’s financial health remains stable. The anticipated disbursement of relief funds in Puerto Rico is expected to provide an economic boost, benefiting Evertec. Additionally, management’s confidence in cost initiatives to counteract upcoming revenue headwinds and the company’s robust revenue and margin guidance for 2025 further support the Buy rating. These factors collectively indicate a positive outlook for Evertec’s future performance.

Kennedy covers the Technology sector, focusing on stocks such as Fidelity National Info, Evertec, and nCino. According to TipRanks, Kennedy has an average return of -3.6% and a 42.31% success rate on recommended stocks.

In another report released today, KBW also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $44.00 price target.
